Where can I place a heating lamp in the coop?

This coop is too small to put a lamp. If you haven't already bought this coop...don't do it! Coop is too small and falls apart easily...Sorry.

You can mount it on the ladder as long as the chicks are closed off inside. Just keep it low and away from the plastic pan. The heat will rise and keep them warm, but only if they have most of there feathers. I did this at week 4 with low temps of 45 degrees. I pulled it out at daylight and let them have access to the rest of the coop. You can also add a battery light inside to make them feel safe.

I really don't know, as I live in Arizona it is more warm than cold, I did reinforce the layer boxes and the tray, but I have regular sized chickens. But my two girls seem to love it,really easy clean up. I had a dog pen and attached it to the from of the house so they have more room too do chicken things.

Yeah you can put a lamp cord or a better answer of the thickness is a cable wire will fit but you have to be careful when putting it in so it won't break

Yes. The lamp shade does not have to be used. An interesting or different light bulb should work well.

Perhaps you misunderstand the product? There is no heater; the heater IS the heat-lamps or heat-bulbs, so in that sense no, since the heat and the light are the same thing. As others stated, one could conceivably put one heat-lamp bulb and one white light bulb into the unit and rewire it, but I don't think that's the best option. If I really wanted a separate heater and light unit, perhaps I'd considering buying a different unit other than this Broan (one with a specific heating unit)

You will have to attach a cord with a plug on it to the wires on the back of the lamp assembly. Ideally, it should be wall mounted and wired to a circuit with a switch.

It's on the top. I bought the lamp and paid more to get the bulb with it, but the bulb only lasted a little over a month which was disappointing. I bought this lamp for my friend who was burned in a house fire, so I wanted it with the bulb so he did not have to worry about one. :(

You can put it anywhere you want. If it is an enclosed cabinet I would make sure that there is enough ventilation. (see last post) If there isn't, heat will build up and the components in the cabinet will not last as long. When I am home I have my TV and Tuner on from when I get home from work to when I go to bed. Heat builds up and a cooling fan was a great solution to the heat build up. I'm no Amazon electronics wiz bang, just my 2 cents. Good luck.

You could use a light bulb, but it would have to be real small not much room between lamp shade

A simple lamp stand would be fine, a 1 sq ft paver or piece of tile to set it all up on from Home Depot or Lowes, would facillitate clean up and offer assurance on any heat issues. Mine needs an aluminum pie plate under the pedestal to catch grease. Also, I taped the box open, then painted it to make a nice cover for it. Its shed rain off of the set up several times and proved to be a smart cover for the grill when not in use. I've had two meco's, this one is rated fifty watts higher output. ps-*BY PLACING A CUP OF VINEGAR & WATER ON THE GRATE & PUTTING THE LID ON WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF TO LET IT COOL DOWN MAKES CLEAN-UP A SNAP!

The grill is attached to the ceiling. You will need to have 2 power outlets with in the grill. Area. Heating and fan. Additionally, you will have install the a lite bulb.

It uses a standard, household socket.My parents used to use these heat lamps for sore muscles (of course, be sure not to get too close as they give off a lot of heat and it would be very easy to burn yourself).Since I knew about them from my parents, I incorporated them into our chicken coop during the winter. One bulb heats an 8 foot chicken coop with 10 birds.I hope this helps.

Warm food as in commercially?... Not that this could not work, but I would expect there to be something more on the commercial side of the business that would be used. And the lamp would have to be placed fairly close to the food (guessing 12-24") and it would just keep the cooked food warm, it would not warm it from refrigerator temperatures.

I use mine in my chicken run, in the portion that is underneath my coop, and out of the weather. It sits on bricks on bare earth. My only question, since it is a warming element, is could it be placed on a wooden floor if it's inside the henhouse. What kind of flooring are you planning on putting it on? It does not warm up very much, enough to heat water to keep it from freezing. If you are planning on putting it on a wooden floor, I would contact the manufacturer and ask. Personally, I'm hesitant to put any warming element, including a heat lamp, anywhere that would be sitting on wood or straw.

It is just a heat lamp. I have the ventilation part of the unit on a separate switch. It can be hooked up together.

I don't think that would work. The housing is just large enough to allow adequate ventilation around the bulb. Maybe 3/16" clearance all around. The heat lamp bulb doesn't direct heat like a light bulb directs light. It tends to radiate in all directions after it exits the fixture.Hope this helps.

There should been a bar that came with the heater. Mount the bar then hook the heater. Make sure you mount in a secure place away from furniture.
